INTRODUCTION 1. The Committee for Roads of the Ministry Industry and Infrastructural Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan (CFR) is implementing CAREC Corridors 1 and 6 Connector Road (Aktobe-Makat) Reconstruction Project with funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under Loan 3416. 299 km of a two-lane highway connecting Aktobe and Makat will be reconstructed to category II standard and transport system operation will be improved with better road traffic safety and logistics effectiveness. The project was approved on 26 August 2016. Implementation is ongoing. 2. In spring of 2019, due to appeal from local population regarding the safety of passage through Dossor village (Lot 7, Section km 487 - km 504) and due to restrictions for transportation of heavy and oversized loads connected with road category at this section, CFR began to consider options to ensure safety for local population and make transportation of heavy and oversized loads possible. 3. Dossor Bypass Way is required to solve the safety issues of traffic passing through this village, as this site is mainly used for transportation of oversized and heavy loads of oil refining companies in the region, also to reduce traffic flow at this road section connected with internal traffic of local vehicles. During the transportation of such loads, local population feels inconvenience due to traffic jams and unsafety of such transportation for them. 4. The road “Dossor Bypass Way” passes through an open area and crosses salt-affected sections from PK18+60 to PK21+70, from PK36+76 to PK38+97 and from PK47+30 to PK48+10.00, connects republican roads and has parameters of technical category II. 5. On 5 July 2019, CFR instructed the Contractor to prepare the design for Dossor Bypass Way, and assess the social and environmental impact of the bypass. It is expected that Bypass Way will be included in Lot 7 Contract, therefore the works at this Lot will require time extension and increase in quantities. Commencement of work for this bypass is conditional to ADB’s review and approval of the social due diligence report (SDDR) confirming absence of IR impacts or the approval and implementation of a land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) in case there are IR impacts from the proposed construction. 6. Makat District Akimat issued a decree (State Act No. 001734) which allocated 23,200 ha of state reserve land under cadastral number 04-064-007-2482 for the construction of bypass way to Dossor and registered (No.590) by Makat District Department of Land Cadastre and Real Estate on 10 September 2019. Documents are provided in Attachment 2. со 5 Picture 1: Bypass way layout scheme 7. There are 2 junctions in the design, at the beginning and end of the road. Road pavement within the curves, acceleration and deceleration lanes on the existing road is the same as the main designed road. At the connection of edges of the main and secondary roads the method of ranging of a curvature in the form of a circular curve with symmetric curves – clothoids, its main purpose is prevention of instant occurrence of the centrifugal force causing skidding of the car having unsafe impact on drivers and passengers. The connection of edges and carriageway of the main and secondary roads is made by the circular curve R=25 m. To provide deceleration and acceleration of cars leaving the general traffic flow and entering it, there will be speed change lanes and horizontal direction markings. All the designed junctions have been approved by the Traffic Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. 8. The road axis has 4 turn angles. There will be a cattle pass at PK 09+00.00 made by precast concrete box culvert 4.0 m x 2.5 m for passing animals and small-sized equipment. There will be devices for underground crossing of communication lines at PK 0+55,60 and PK 1+27,00 according to technical specifications of the operating organizations of these communication lines. Mesh fences will be installed along the road at a distance of 15 m from the carriageway edge in order to ensure traffic safety and not to allow animals on the road. 9. The bypass connects the republican roads A27 “Aktobe-Atyrau-border of the Russian Federation (Astrakhan)” and A33 “Dossor-Kulsary -Beineu-Sai-Utes-Shetpe-Zhetybay- Aktau”, it passes through the open area, through the territory of Makat district of Atyrau region. со 6 Table 1. Main parameters of the bypass road Standard Parameters SP RK 3.03-101-2013, project SN 3.03-01-2013 Road category II II Design speed (km/hour) 120 120 Number of traffic lanes 2 2 Traffic lane width, (m) 3,75 3,75 Carriageway width, (m) 7,5 7,5 Shoulder width (m) 3,75 3,75 Width of strengthened shoulder line (m) 0,75 0,75 Roadbed width (m) 15 15 10. The road length is 5,516.83 meters, the construction length is 5.5 km. The design provides an access road to the production base “Dank” LLP at PK 14+00 on the right side with a length of 50 m and parameters of technical category IV. The longitudinal profile line is designed along the axis of the designed road. The embankment height is set based on that the road is free of snow drifts and the top of road pavement is higher than the level of surface and ground waters in low places. According to clause 7.3.11 of SNIP RK 3.03- 101-2013*, the embankment height on the road sections passing through the open area, where free of snow drifts is not less than 1.2 m (on the edge). The accepted vertical concave and convex curves provide the required minimum visibility distance of the oncoming car and their movement by design speed. Rest areas, bus stops are not provided according to clause 14 “Particular condition” of the term of reference on preparation of design and estimate document dated February 28, 2020. 11. There are no existing artificial structures on the designed site. The working design provides the construction of 9 precast concrete culverts, among them: diameter 1.5 m - 8 nos./224.59 m; box culvert 4 x 2.5 m - 1 no./28.07 m. 2.
